Obviously there's no straight line towards our purpose, making the work (in no particular order) challenging/frustrating/overwhelming/chaotic/gratifying/fun. This purpose is a reminder that our work is worth doing, that our work is bigger than any of us.

Get some paper and writing materials, you will need space for making 4 mind maps.
Write socially just in the middle of the paper, and draw a circle. Draw 5-7 lines that branch out of this circle. At the end of each line, write down a word/concept that you immediately associate with socially just. This is your first layer.
Now, for each term on the first layer, draw 2-3 lines that branch out. At the end of each line, write down word/concept associations. They don't have to be related to the central idea.
Get a new sheet of paper, and repeat the exercise with these otherterms: healthy, creative, and informed.
Look at your mind maps. What do you notice? Do you see patterns, overlaps?
Share your mind maps with others. What do you notice?
